Indeed. I am wondering why it was put in a tree and sent to Linus without any Acks or even being replied to by anyone. It appeared in the tty tree between Oct 14 and Oct 25 (while I was unfortunately on vacation). If anyone had tried to boot this on any PowerPC server, it would have been immediately obvious (as it was when I booted Linus' tree last night).
And the original author expressed doubts as to his understanding of how it should all work anyway.
Just a little more care, please.
I would vote for reverting the original and having it resubmitted with corrections at some later date. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell sfr@canb.auug.org.au http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~sfr/ [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
